A pump fiber is stripped of its cladding over the last section. This can occur by etching a coating off. The sheath is preferably etched off wedge-shaped. As a result thereof, the remaining pump power is eliminated into the environment. How much stray pump light still proceeds via the fiber core to the fiber exit can be monitored over a length of the fiber completely stripped of the protective sheath.

Method and device for reducing the pump light in a sheat-pumped fiber laser output

A system and method for selectively process material on a processing surface of a printing form to create a fine structure or pattern for images or text. At least one fiber laser comprising a pump source and a laser fiber is provided. A laser gun is mounted adjacent the printing form and has at least a focusing optics. The fiber laser outputs a laser beam which is diffraction-limited to permit the focusing optics to focus the laser beam onto the processing surface of the printing form as a spot having a spot size sufficiently small to process the processing surface to create the fine structure or pattern images or text.
